Dracaena has very attractive foliage with yellow and green stripes. The name Dracaena is an interesting name as it literally means a female dragon! It is commonly known as Song of India in the west probably because of its place of origin. Draceana, like another popular foliage plant Cordyline is a monocot. It is a pest free plant. It is up to you to trim it or let it grow tall. Taller plants will need some support.The flowers are not attractive like most monocot plants. It has orange roots. Image by M. Munir
